Varanasi: The City That Lives On

Before we went to Varanasi last year, I didn’t have much of an idea about the city except for what I had read in the travel guides. As we explored the city through our camera lens, interviewed and interacted with people, and participated in the various festivities that I realised the amazing character this city has. We learned more when we were putting this documentary together as we tried to bring forth the different facets of life in Varanasi. This is our interpretation of this ancient city that lives on. We plan to go back again and capture each and every story in detail that we have summarised through this short documentary.
This documentary is part of the initiative (non-commercial) by Rustik Travel to help preserve culture (One of the three tenets of Sustainable Travel philosophy that we believe in. The other two being creating livelihoods and protecting environment).
